Addressing Issues of Equity Using the Cross-Pollination of Universal Design for Learning and Culturally Responsive Teaching (Article)

The authors discuss the need to use UDL and CRT in  instruction. They argue that pre service and inservice teachers are culturally situated within cultural and linguistic groups. It is important for pre- and in-service teachers to understand this cross-pollination when using the UDL Guidelines as an implementation tool in their classrooms to proactively identify and address potential barriers to student learning while sustaining their students' cultural and linguistic identities.

Culturally Responsive ELA Curriculum Scorecard 

The tool created by NYU Metro Center aims to assist parents, teachers, students, and community members in evaluating the cultural responsiveness of their schools' English Language Arts curricula. Through this process, we aim to stimulate reflection on optimal learning approaches, content, and methods to enhance student engagement. Our tool draws upon diverse resources such as multicultural rubrics, anti-bias rubrics, textbook evaluations, and standards for culturally inclusive education. We have enriched these resources with supplementary questions to offer a thorough assessment tool. For complete information on the development of this tool, please refer to the Scorecard Development section at bit.ly/CRCScorecard.

Culturally Responsive Evidence-Based Practices for Black Males with Emotional Behavioral Disorders (Website)

Students of color, especially Black males identified as having emotional behavior disorders (EBD), are overrepresented in exclusionary practices. Exclusionary practices, such as in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, and expulsion, negatively impact academic and social–emotional–behavioral outcomes for all students, especially students with EBD. This article identifies the overlapping principles of culturally responsive teaching and culturally responsive pedagogy as theorized by Gay and Ladson-Billings so that teachers of students of color identified with EBD can better support the specific learning needs of their students. These principles are explicitly applied to behavior-specific praise and error corrections, two evidence-based classroom behavioral management practices.
